To know that Mariano Rivera shares a special connection with the baseball legend who broke the color line - he's the last Major League Baseball player to wear Jackie Robinson's number 42, which was retired by the league in 1997 for all new players.

I definitely want to see 42.

And at least we can all be relatively sure that the last guy to wear that number will enter the HOF some day.

That's a sure bet if there ever was one.
